Two of cups Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

The spirit of pure connection is found in the Two of Cups. The relationship represented by this card cannot be hurt by miscommunication, the people involved know each other with perfect ease. There is a true unity of spirit, purpose and values.
If you have a romantic partner right now, this is a sign that they are worth keeping. The interpretation is unambiguous—your relationship is built on strong foundations and will bring both of you joy and comfort.
Even if you do not have a partner right now, this card can have important meanings for you. This is a sign for what you should strive for in a relationship. Perhaps you have spent far too long accepting the bare minimum from people just because you do not wish to be alone, when you deserve someone who knows and understands you completely. Or, you may already have that person in the form of a friend or close family member. Our lives do not have to revolve around the quest for monogamous romantic partnership, no matter how hard advertisements tug at our heartstrings. Finding a person who gets you so completely is rare, be sure that you value them.

Reversed Card Meaning

The Two of Cups reversed is built on a false foundation of deceit. Gone is the clear connection and communication of the card when upright, replaced with misunderstanding. Now is a good time to examine your own contributions to this cloud of confusion in your important relationships. Could you be communicating your desires more clearly, or are you expecting others to read your mind?
The Two of Cups reversed is also a sign to reexamine your romantic relationships. It is easy to make a relationship look like the pretty picture on the card, it is far harder to make the underlying foundation match its appearance. Have you allowed yourself to be taken in by the superficial qualities of your relationship, just like an unattached observer might? You might be placing your affections in the hands of the wrong person, someone who does not really match your perception of them. Assess the reality of your relationship with clear eyes, before you crumble under the weight of false hopes.
